The joy of anticipation and the disappointment that can follow are zippily charted in this vigorous story about the aptly named Bridget Fidget, a girl who is constantly on the move. The wonder of the arrival of what she assumes will be a new pet sends Bridget Fidget into a tailspin of excitement. Guessing what it might be from a giant box that arrives unexpectedly, Bridget's thoughts fly through images of a penguin, a mouse or a unicorn. All, in their different ways, would make fantastic pets. But the box contains something completely different, and how Bridget adjusts to the disappointment before enjoying an unexpected pet is entertaining and cheering.
